This guide walks you through how to create, configure, and manage drivers (users or vehicles) in the eMabler Charge Point Management System (CPMS), including setting up access and RFID-based authentication.
1. Creating a New Driver
-
Go to Drivers > Click “Add”
-
Enter required fields:
-
Name (required)
-
Home site (for operator visibility)
-
RFID and optional details like start/expiration dates
-
External ID (optional)
-
Site/Charger Access to define where charging is allowed
-
-
Save the driver profile
2. RFID Tag Management
-
Drivers may have one or more RFID tags
-
Tags can have:
-
Validity period (start/end date)
-
Custom labels
-
-
All tags share the same access permissions
-
Tags can be added, edited, or deactivated as needed
3. Home Site Concept
-
Used for grouping and operator visibility
-
Does not grant charging permissions
-
Drivers must still be granted site or charger access explicitly
4. Managing Access Permissions
-
Drivers can be authorized for:
-
Entire sites (including subsites)
-
Individual chargers (if fine-grained control is needed)
-
To Add Access:
-
Go to driver profile → Site Access or Charger Access → Add
To Remove Access:
-
Click “Remove” and select target sites/chargers
5. Authentication Methods
Drivers can authenticate via:
-
RFID/NFC tags
-
ISO15118 (Vehicle VIN / MAC)
-
License plate recognition
-
PIN codes
-
Bluetooth proximity
Authentication must be supported by the specific charger.
6. Editing Driver Info
-
Editable fields: Name, Home Site, External ID, RFID, Access
-
All updates take effect immediately
-
Accessible under each driver profile
